Things I Might Miss


I'll be heading out on vacation soon...first to visit my Aunt Elaine in Ohio. While I'm there we will get to go see Kim's Study In Contrast in person which I am so excited about! After that I will continue on to Buffalo where about 60 garden bloggers from around the country will be gathering for several days of garden viewing, tours, sharing, eating, drinking and fun. I think we're ALL excited about that!

After all that excitement I will cross the country diagonally and spend time with the Sweet-Granddaughter and her family in San Diego. What we do there remains to be seen but I'm hoping to hit a few garden centers I've heard of...San Diego is a hot bed of succulents which I am addicted to at the moment. I wonder how many I can carry on...maybe I can mail my clothes home?

In the meantime my garden will continue to do its thing with the care of two garden assistants...my husband and my son. Hopefully I will have left good notes on the care and watering needs of the garden but I will still miss a few things. Will these tomatoes be ripe before I return? What about the beans that are already flowering? I wonder if I should pick off the blooms before I go? These Italian peppers are actually ready to be eaten...I'd better plan to use them up.

One thing I won't miss is Lilium Landini which has started blooming so I am at least getting to see some of the blooms!
